pgBackRest, a widely-used open-source PostgreSQL backup and restore tool, has been officially declared obsolete by its creator after 13 years of development. The maintainer cites the sale of corporate sponsor Crunchy Data, inability to find a new sponsoring role, and failed efforts to secure alternative funding as reasons for discontinuation. The project's last stable release is v2.58.0. The maintainer encourages any forks to adopt a new name and acknowledges that a forked project would need to rebuild community trust independently. Supabase was the final sponsor.
